Video: Mix of short clips and Colby rolling over

Here's a mix of short clips from yesterday and today. He's doing so well lifting his head and he's starting to roll over from his belly to his back on his own. We've been watching him the last couple days because he has a cough and a runny nose. It doesn't seem to stay with him, but rather it comes and goes. So we're hoping it's not a cold. Maybe just some allergies or something.

I haven't commmented in a longtime...but I've still been checking in on Colby :) He looks super and sounds super! I'm so glad everything went great at the neurologists. Watching someone who had some many obstacles to overcome, grow so gracefully...well, honestly it just about brings me to happy happy tears :)

Tyler is almost three and I'm still waiting for the milestone that says, "see, he is perfect." It's a very gray line. He made it out of Early Intervention for PT, but went back for speech, now we're awaiting results for the 3-5 Program. I am hoping that he doesn't meet the requirements for services. Then I guess we are in the clear until school age, where we will continue to watch closely and wonder if everything is normal!!! It's a crazy cycle :) And the PT probably was never needed...our fullterm Addie is 14 months, a fulltime scooter (no crawling) and no where near walking. So was Tyler really delayed due to prematurity or poor genetics!!!!

Congrats to Tracy and her advancement in her career, I'm sure it was a lot of work. I got accepted into the RN program last month and already feel a smidge overwhelmed. I'll add her to the list of women who inspire me.

About Me

This story is written from a dad's perspective. We went through infertility for 4 years before we found out we were pregnant with twins in March of 2007. Life dealt us an unexpected hand when Colby and Avery came 3 ½ months early due to PROM of twin A. I started this blog to keep friends and family up to speed on the happenings during our NICU experience. However I’ve been amazed at the interest and support that has come from family, friends and complete strangers. I am moved by the connection that people feel toward our situation and to hear the stories of how our story has in some way helped others through difficult times.
Thank you all for your support and compassion during our journey. I hope one day for Colby to be able to read this and know the impact he’s had and the amount of people he had supporting him.
